Tuthill’s Flabellum [Flabellum (Ulocyathus) tuthilli]
Description
Tuthill’s Flabellum is a small, elegant coral that forms fan-like or cup-shaped colonies with a delicate, segmented appearance. Divers may find it in calmer pockets of reef where it can remain stable while still benefiting from gentle currents. Its understated beauty is often best appreciated up close, when the fine structure becomes clear.
